Superintendent of Poltco Robinson has
refused to mnko public records of the num
ber of nrrosts for violation of tho automo
bile traffic regulations slnco January 1,
and tho number of fines Imposed upon own
ers of cars and driver of cars.
These records. It Is said on reliable
authority, would show that a largo num
ber of reckless speeders arrested by tho
police havo been permitted to go free.
Superintendent Robinson said he would
not make public tho records until after the
primary election on May 10. IIo basod
his refusal on the ground thnt tho records
might reflect upon Magistrates allied with
olther of tho warring factions of the
Republican Organization.
Another pedestrian has been added to
tho long list of automoblla ilctlms. Last
night William E. Price, of G30 Elkins avo
nuo, Olney, was run down nnd probably
fatally Injured by a motorcar owned and
driven by O. M. Smith, an electrical con.
tractor, of 6423 Lawrence street. Prlco
was orosslng Eth street near Olney 'ave
nue when the automobile struck him nnd
passed over his body, breaking an arm
and a leg and indicting Intornal Injuries.
Smith picked up tho Injured man and
carried him to tho Jewish Hospital, after
which Smith was arrested by the poltco of
the Branchtown station.
Aroused by the number of accidents and
fatalities due to reckless speeding, tho
21st Ward Board of Trade and the Tioga
Business Lien's Association last night
adopted resolutions demanding a more
rigid regulation of automobile traffic on
the streets of tho city. Both organiza
tions urged that tho police establish a
rule forbidding motor vehicles to pass
trolley cars halted on street crossings.
It "was becauso a motortruck sped by a
trolley reoently at 2 2d' and Vernango
streets that Miss Ida M. Packer, a school
teacher, was killed.
Although Superintendent Robinson re
fused to make publlo tho records. It was
learned that 234 autolsts wero served with
notices to appear In the "speeders' " court,
at 10th and Thompson streets, to answer
to charges of exceeding tho speed limit
during the month of April. This number
does not Include automobile drivers ar
rested for recklessness or In connection
with the scores of accidents during the
period. And because of the superin
tendent's refusal to permit examination of
the publlo records, it was Impossible to
ascertain how many of the 234 "speeders"
were punished by the magistrates who
heard their cases.
"It In almost Impossible for me to realize
that my boy has been wounded, I
wish I know moro about him." Theso were
the words of Mrs. William II. Abbey yes
terday when Inquiry was made regarding
her son, Edwin Austin Abbey, a nephow of
the great artist who died a few years ago.
Toung Abboy, who Is a graduato of the
University of Pennsylvania, has been
wounded "somewhero In Flnnders." He Is
a prhato In the Second Pioneer Battalion
of tho Canadian Engineers. According to
a report received by his parents from the
British Government, ho Is In King Qeorgo's
Hospital, London, suffering from n rifle
shot In tho left shoulder. Ills mother is
consoled by tho fact that ho Is said to
be doing woll.
Tho soldier's father Is a lawyer who
Uvea at ZD10 South 19th street.
Soon after Abbey was graduated from
ths University of Pennsylvania Engineer
ing School, In Juno, 1912, he entered the
service of tho Canadian Paclflo Railway as
a construction engineer. Prior to his enlist
ment, October 2, 191G, ho was In chargo of
a bridge operation In northern Ontario.
He sailed with tho Canadian .contingent
Dccombor 6. The last letter his pnrents
received gavo tho Information that ho was
on the Flanders front.
Thoro aro reports that the young Amer
ican will be offered a commlssloa Ac
cording to his mother, he has already beon
nskod whether he would acoept one, as his
ability as an engineer has been recognized
by his superiors.
f -,
A report published In a morning news
paper today to the effect that Senator
Penrose, In the rolo of mediator, was
responsible for the settlement of the strike
nt the William Cramp & Sons Ship
building Company, whero 1100 men had
been out slnco April G, was denounced as
an absolute falsehood this nfternoon by
Charles F, Scott, International deputy or
ganizer for tho International Brotherhood
of Bolter Makers, Iron Shipbuilders and
Helpers of America, Who had charge of
the strike.
Scott declared that no appeal for help
had ever been made to Penrose nnd as
serted tli at he would rather have seen the
men go back to work beaten than to have
their differences settled through political
Influence Tho report that tho men gave
Penrose a rising vote of thanks at a meet
ing last night he also declared to be a
falsehood.
The bollormakers, machinists, riveters,
caulkers nnd chlppcrs returned to work
today. According to the men, .the com
pany has granted approximately 85 per
cent of their demands, Including the In
crease of 2S per cent, per 100 rivets for
tho riveters nnd art Increase of 10 cents
per hour for tho bollermahcrs.
Discussing tho report of tho 'settlement
published In the morning newspapers,
Scott said!
"I deny, In so far as I have any knowl
edge, that Senator Penrose had anything
to do with tho strlko In any way. I had
promised tho men at tho beginning that
It would bo a clean-cut fight, and neither
politics nor religion would be brought In.
I kept that promise.
"It Is an nbsoluta falsohood that Pen
rose was given a .vote of thanks last
night. His namo was not mentioned at
the meeting and I will leave It to any of
tho 1100 men to boar mo out in this. In
so far as I nm concerned tho strike was
settled through the efforts of Captain
William McFadden, of tho 4th poltco dls
trlct, In tho Interosts of the police de
partment nnd tho public
'1 hnvo always taken the stand that I
would rather seo tho men go back beaten
and for less mpnoy than to havo the strlko
settled through politics or on any other
basis than merit"

Possibly thero are hundreds of hum
drum individuals In Philadelphia who be
llovo they could make spaghetti after a
few days' experience, Rash presumption t
A spaghetti maker requires lnnumer
Ma ounllflentlons. Not only must he
bo a sort of Jaek-of-all-tradcs, but It is
essential that ho also be a poet ana a
dreamer.
If this Is not true, why Is It that the
spaghetti manufacturers havo been unable
to ilnd strike-breakers, while all the spa
ghetti makers, recently formed Into a
union, are refusing to work until the
"boBies" "come across" with a salary
commensurate with the office?
A reporter Interviewed a spaghotU
maker today. Ho also talked to Ferdinand
Clnl, brother of Domlnlck Clnl, proprietor
of tho Clnl Spaghetti Manufacturing Com
pany, nt 1136 South 8th street. There is
a wldo difference In the opinions enter
tained by employer and employe concern-Inn-
what a man needs to be a spaghetti
makor.
Tho union man himself tells about the
art of mixing dough, of standing patiently,
..i -Mnl, nt ft, "Allnrirn na thA (mil.
ghottt dough forms Itself Into the solid

But not bo Clnl. Ho says: "Bahl"
and several moro intelligible things like

"A spaghetti maker I" cried Ferdinand.
"What he do? What he know? He
